I want to know how long does it take to find out who is responsible for making decisions, is it that difficult!

[justmeinhere]

You two are just sorry your plan failed!

1) What drone brand/model were they using that resulted in "Cellular Bandwidth Problems"? Was it DJI or Skydio or another brand being used/not used by the SS?

2) Why was the airspace not secured for the event, which would either not allow unauthorized drones to fly in several mile range OR would alert the FAA - and hopefully the SS - there was an unauthorized UAS for tracking purposes, if nothing else?

16::22. Lindsey Graham the Rhino says I would encourage you to think big when asking for more money for the Secret Service they don't need more money what they need to do is do their job

That ridiculous adolescent haircut should tell you everything you need to know about this man-boy.

[Darlene-zwki]

Ronald Rowe sounds like hes trying too hard to say what he believes we all want to hear

[williamhenry]

THEY chased DeNiro because he wore a Mohawk!!!

[amercyreceived]

Smoke and mirrors, speech was wrote well before hand, just replacing the word, "death" with attempted assassination

[mjozoyl]

I like when people say they applaud the actions of the secret service, when it was their fault it happened. No accountability

[ayzoidz]

they never mention the bombs anymore ?

[danielread]

THIS AGENCY SHOWED WHY THEIR A JOKE AND A CLOWN SHOW.

[amercyreceived]

Imagine when Home Land Security has full legal right to open your secure apps, think about your crypto apps specifically, i know Gary Gensler has been asking.

[markd]

Neither agency has responded to the letters sent by the senators and they wonder why we the people don't trust them. So who do they answer to?

[markd]

It's very difficult to get hired by the SS, yet they use outside agencies to fill in the security gaps.

On January 6th, four insurrectionists and five police officers lost their lives. A total of 1, 265 Trump supporters have faced charges, with 213 pleading guilty to felonies and another 505 pleading guilty to misdemeanors. Sentences have varied from 2 to 22 years. On May 28th, 2021, Senate Republicans blocked a proposal to create an independent commission to investigate the events.

When my uncle kidnapped my grandma for her social security check, I didn't think "Maybe i should give him a billion dollars. He seems to know what he's doing, ". AFUERA!

[Livelearnlegacy]

Rowe is strong when using military talk yet a babbling buffoon when off script. He’s so boorish and uninteresting. He’s covering for his peeps and friends.

[Augustus]

Failure of imagination. - Rowe. That means we are going back and refining our next plot, and we won't fail.

[ItsjustBeth-wkqi]

Hawley and Cruise are a joke… looking for sound bites and trying to look tough when they are only good at running away.

[tiffsaver]

Can anyone spell, "Coverup"??
